After the last update, my camera/gimble will just continuosly move up and down.  I can reboot the P4P and it will behave correctly but the next time it will bounce up and down all over again.  Suggestions?  I did have trouble with the update where the RC and aircraft wouldn't connect but I took everything back to default and did the update again and they connected.  Do I need to repeat this again to get rid of the bounce?  Good grief!  I hope not!

Mine was moving side to side to the point I thought it was going to break.. but stopped after I re-linked (had to press the little paper clip sized hole), so kind of the same as mine, but again it stopped.. wish I could help more.

Thankfully mine is a slow bounce.  Doesn't look like it's going to break.  But I still need it to stop.

Does the issue appear when you powered on the drone or in the mid-flight? Is there any error message in APP? If not, please make sure the firmware update to the latest version successfully and then do IMU and gimbal calibration.

I too had a similar experience.  Too windy in my area to fly for the next few weeks, but will be checking it our once more stable air come my way.

in dont know if its still relevant. But i found a solution. And its seems to be permanent. Its the ribbon cable not being able to move freely. I discovered it by moving the gimbal by my hand. Till the point when i started to fell force and friction. There is a part of the  left hand side of the gimbal. Just remove 4 screws and You have an acces to the part of the ribbon cable that is easily spinning around its axis. I noticed there was lost of force going thru this part. I added some normal cooking oil by precision tools. And since then the gimbal never had a choke
